L.P. GAS INSTALLATION
Sonoma Gas Grills are set to operate with L.P. gas and come with a high capacity hose and regulator assembly. (Note:
Only use the pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the grill or a replacement pressure regulator
a
nd hose assemblies specified by Sonoma).
T
his assembly is designed to connect directly to a standard 20 lb. L.P.
cylinder. L.P. Cylinders are not included with the grill. L.P. Cylinders can be purchased separately at an independent
dealer.
L.P. TANK INFORMATION
Never use a dented or rusted L.P. tank or cylinder with a damaged valve.
L.P. cylinders are equipped with an O.P.D (Overfilling Prevention Device). The device shuts off the flow of gas to a cylin-
der after 80% capacity is reached. This limits the potential for release of gas when the cylinder is heated, averting a fire
or possible injury.
The L.P. cylinder must have a shut-off valve terminating in an L.P. gas supply cylinder outlet specified, as applicable, for
connection No. 510 in the standard for compressed gas cylinder valve outlet and inlet connection ANSI/CGA-V-1.
Cylinders must not be stored in a building, garage, or any other enclosed area. (The L.P. cylinder must have an overfill
protection device, OPD, on it.)
The L.P. gas supply cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for L.P. gas cylinders
of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CAS-B339, “Cylinders,
Spheres and Tubes for the Transportation of Dangerous Goods.”
L.P. TANK USE
• When turning the L.P. tank on, make sure to open the valve SLOWLY two (2) complete turns to insure proper
gas flow
. Most gas tanks now come equipped with a leak detector mechanism internal to the tank, when gas
is allowed to escape rapidly it shuts off the gas supply
. Opening the valve rapidly may simulate a gas leak,
causing the safety device to activate, restricting gas flow causing low flames. Opening the valve slowly will
insure this safety feature is not falsely triggered.
• When not in use, gas supply cylinder valve is to be in the “OFF” position.
• The tank supply system must be stored upright to allow for vapor withdrawal.
• The regulator and hose assembly must be inspected before each use of the grill. If there is excessive abrasion
or wear or if the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to the grill being used again.
• Cylinders must be stored outdoors out of the reach of children and must not be stored in a building, garage or
any other enclosed area.
• Only a qualified gas supplier should refill the L.P. tank.
• Do not store a spare L.P. gas cylinder under or near the grill.

Gas Requirements
GENERAL INFORMATION
Although all gas connections on the grill are leak tested prior to shipment, a complete gas tightness check must be per-
formed at the installation site due to possible shifting during shipment, installation or excessive pressure unknowingly
being applied to the unit. Periodically check the whole system for leaks and immediately check the system if the smell
of gas is detected.
BEFORE TESTING
Do not smoke while leak testing. Extinguish all open flames. Never leak test with an open flame.
Mix a solution of equal parts mild detergent or liquid soap and water.
TESTING
1. Turn off the burner control knobs.
2. Turn the top knob of the fuel supply cylinder counterclockwise (right to left) two (2) rotations to open.
3. Apply the soap solution to connections of the fuel supply assembly. If no soap bubbles appear, there is no gas leak. If
bubbles form at the connections, a leak is detected. If a leak is detected, immediately turn off the gas supply, tighten
any leaking fittings, turn gas on, and repeat steps 1-3.
4. Turn off the knob on the fuel supply cylinder.
5. Turn on the burner control knobs for a moment to release the pressure in the hose, then turn the control knobs back off.
6. Wash off soapy solution with cold water and towel dry.
Check all gas supply fittings before each use and each time the gas supply cylinder is connected to the regulator.
Have a qualified service technician leak test the grill any time a part of the gas system is replaced.
Also it is recommended to perform a leak test at least once a year whether or not the L.P. gas supply cylinder has been
disconnected.
NOTE: When leak testing this appliance, make sure to test and tighten all loose connections, including the side burner.
A slight leak in the system can result in a low flame, or hazardous condition. Most L.P. gas tanks now come equipped
with a leak detector mechanism internal to the tank, when gas is allowed to escape rapidly, it shuts off the gas
supply. A leak may significantly reduce the gas flow making the grill difficult to light or causing low flames.
NOTE: If you cannot stop a gas leak turn off the gas supply and call your local gas or the dealer you purchased
the appliance from. If necessary, replace the faulty part with the manufacturers recommended replacement
part.
A slight leak could cause a fire.

extender
, located on the inside of the cart door.
Keep your face as far away from the grill surface as possible
and pass the match extender through the spaces in the grill
grates to the ports of the back crossover burner between the
flavor grids. Position the match near the burner ports and push
and turn the control knob counter clockwise to the “HIGH”
position. (See Fig. 22-23)
The match extender can be stored inside the cart door by
sliding the extender ring through the opening on the inside,
back of the cart door. (See Fig. 24-25)

GRILL LOCATION
Do not use the grill in garages, breezeways, sheds or any enclosed area. Never operate the grill in
enclosed areas as this could lead to a carbon monoxide buildup, which could result in injury or
death. Place the grill on a level surface. Avoid moving the grill while it is operation.
NOTE: The grill will operate best if it is not facing directly into the wind.
Clearance to combustible construction - A minimum of 12” from the sides and back must be maintained from the gas grill
above and below the cooking surface to adjacent vertical combustible construction.
Clearance to non-combustible construction - A minimum of 6” clearance from the back of the grill to non-combustible
construction is required for the lid to fully open.
Storage of an outdoor gas cooking appliance indoor is permissible only if the cylinder is disconnected and removed from
the appliance.
GENERAL RULES
Do not leave the grill unattended while cooking!
1. Make sure the grill has been leak tested and is properly located.
2. Light the grill burners using the instructions provided in this manual.
3. Turn the control knobs to desired temperature “High, Medium, or Low” and preheat the grill for 10 minutes
before cooking.
4. Adjust heat settings to meet your cooking needs for desired results.
5. Allow grill to cool down, wipe off any splatters or grease and clean the drip tray as needed.
6. Do not put a cover on the grill while it is still hot as it could start a fire.

Using the Side Burner
DRIP TRAY
The drip tray should be cleaned periodically to prevent heavy buildup of debris.
N
OTE: Allow the drip tray to cool before attempting to clean.
Important: Do not leave the grill outside during inclement weather unless it is covered. Rain water can collect
inside of the grill, the grill cart or the drip tray if left uncovered. If the drip tray is not cleaned after use and the
grill is left uncovered, the drip tray will fill with water causing grease and water to spill into the grill cart. We
recommend cleaning and storing the drip tray after every use.
COOKING GRA
TES
The cooking grates can be cleaned immediately after cooking is completed and after turning off the grill. Wear a barbecue
mitt and scrub the cooking grates with a damp cloth. If the grill is allowed to cool down, cleaning the grates will be easier
if removed from the grill and cleaned with a mild detergent.
STAINLESS STEEL
After initial usage, areas of the grill may discolor from the intense heat given off by the burners, this is normal.
Purchase a mild stainless steel cleaner and rub in the direction of the grain of the metal. Specks of grease can gather
on the surface of the stainless steel and bake on to the surface and give a worn appearance. For removal, use an non-
abrasive oven cleaner in conjunction with a stainless cleaner.
NOTE: Always scrub in the direction of the grain.
IGNITER ACCESS (UNDER SIDE BURNER SHELF):
To remove igniter, unscrew igniter push button and locking
nut from front panel of the side burner and igniter will fall out through the bottom
11
Care and Maintenance
GENERAL TROUBLE SHOOTING
You should inspect the burners at least once a year or immediately if any of the following conditions occur:
• The smell of gas.
• Flames appearing mostly yellow. (some yellow at the tips is OK)
• The grill will not get hot enough.
• Burners make a snapping noise.
• The grill heats unevenly.
SPIDER AND INSECT WARNING
Spider and insects can nest in the burners of this or any other grill and cause the gas to flow from the front of the burner.
This is very dangerous condition which can cause a fire to occur behind the valve panel, thereby damaging the grill and
making it unsafe to operate. We recommend you check the grill and remove any spiders, insects and webs at least
once a year to reduce this risk.
